[WIP] FATEMAKER - A Destiny 2 Inspired Mod

[dense wedge]

Cracked Photochad lol

[slate ravine]

Honestly I rly like the machine garden mechanic, it's a shame it isn't implemented fully

I- I don't even-

Wha?

[red axle]

Why is it called Iffy

[red axle]

Yeah it's been killing me trying to implement some of the features, but Machine Garden is almost complete, there are still some crucial components to do:

• proper scoring disabling before you become Enlightened
• proper Volatile Overflow card destruction when you play them wrong

what have I unleashed
Honestly I thought that GG might be too restrictive because you need 3 sets of solar cards to use it fully, 5 to charge, up to 5 to set the retriggers, and then those retriggers only happen on Solar cards

[slate ravine]

Why is wha

[red axle]

The hand type

[slate ravine]

It's rly restrictive n you have to heavily build around it

[slate ravine]

Oooohhhh, that's from the-

Actually dw abt it :3

[red axle]

Hmmmm
Is the build up and payoff of GG balanced in your opinion

[slate ravine]

Imo currently it's too hard to set up a build for it bc the only way to get cards are regular card packs and nothing else

[somber cloud]

that's clearly because you played the Polar Bridge for Drawer hand

[slate ravine]

Uhhhhh, sure, let's go with that...

[red axle]

A lil WIP

[slate ravine]

Ooooo

[slate ravine]

I had an idea: decks for each Subclass, a deck that has all light or all dark buffs, then a prismatic one that gives all cards a random buff

[somber cloud]

i was thinking

wouldn't it be better to do the super cards by using the soul stuff

cause maybe it's just compression but this hurts to look at

or at least make the background strands darker
or use the actual ingame icons without the diamond in the background? idk

[red axle]

Tada

[red axle]

I am a god

[red axle]

Hmm soul rendering is kinda tedious since I'd need to separate the icons from the background and realign the Joker atlas, and do it for every other Joker for parity
But I did redesign it so it's less eye-straining, at least for me, how's this?

[somber cloud]

MUCH better

also fair

main issue was the the colors of the super icon and background didn't have enough contrast

[slate ravine]

Nice!

[slate ravine]

I notice 10 cards here

[red axle]

Yeah I'm just fucking around, it's supposed to be 3

[red axle]

Ok I have been very busy for the past few days both from errands and unshameful amount of gaming, but I'll find some time to come back to this

Have this first ever attempt at adding in a new Enhancement from last year

[slate ravine]

Thas a cool concept tbh

[red axle]

Ayy

[red axle]

The Restoration card is a fucking pain in the ass to fix

Copilot knows what's up

no fucking shot Copilot predicted the entirety of Meet The Engineer

[tired notch]

This looks cool af btw

[red axle]

:D

I've made quite a bit of progress over the past month and a half
Right now there are 20-ish Enhancements themed after subclass verbs like Volatile Cards, Jolt Cards, Slowed Cards, Unravelled Cards, etc
13 Super Jokers themed after the supers from the game
Boss blinds with mechanics themed after raid bosses

[red axle]

Coming up next

[warped otter]

Flame on! Also, are there gonna be any achievements brought in by this mod?

[red axle]

Haven't thought of it yet

[warped otter]

Well, we could probably make 'Flame on!' an achievement by having 52 cards in your deck with Solar-tied enhancements

Other ones that're similar to it could exist for the other types, too, like this (am I missing any?)/
Into the Void (Void enhancements)
Static Shock (Arc enhancements)
Better Than Cool (Stasis enhancements)
Spin Me Right 'Round (Strand enhancements)

[somber cloud]

https://tenor.com/view/destiny2-warlock-solar-dawnblade-super-gif-26523176

[red axle]

MOAR

[red axle]

@slate ravine I call upon you, my greatest tester

Alright so the Restoration card was kinda ass to fix and I got my sights set on reworking it entirely
Since compared to other Enhancements I made later down the line it looked like a weak card
It pales in comparison to something like the Finalized card

So I'm gonna need some ideas on how Restoration could work alternatively

Something themed around long-term bonuses and upkeep

[slate ravine]

Reporting!

Hmmmmm...

Maybe each time it's scored it gains x0.1 chips and it stacks?

[red axle]

Hmmmm

Felt a bit too simple

Maybe I can buff it to rank up adjacent cards instead of itself

[slate ravine]

That might work but wouldn't it run into the same issues as earlier?

[red axle]

I can only pray that it's different enough

Right now I'm facing issues with the Restoration card resetting back to its original rank after playing it

If it's only adjacent cards doing it, maybe I don't have to do the resetting part

Hmmm might be a bit op

Maybe it'll only rank up adjacent cards that are the same suit

There we go

[slate ravine]

That could be really interesting, especially with the likes of the checkered deck

Do those cards rank down at all or...?

[red axle]

They do not

That's why to balance it out I added the restriction of it only working on the same suit

[slate ravine]

Sounds nice, one more question: what happens when two restore cards are next to eachother?

[red axle]

They rank up as well

Put 3 Restoration cards together in hand, play a hand without them, and all 3 will rank up

[slate ravine]

Nice!

[slate ravine]

I just saw the solar packs too, amazing!

[red axle]

The booster pack sheen kinda ruined the colours but I am too lazy to fix for now

[red axle]

@slate ravine Actually, you have tried out the Machine Garden blind right
I know the scoring disabling is not fixed yet, but have ya seen anything funky related to Voltaic Overflow cards

[slate ravine]

Already tried it, nothing funky from what I saw but it didn't affect anything

[red axle]

Mmmm gotcha

If that's the case then Machine Garden is actually pretty near completion than I realized, just need to fix disabling and enabling scoring and it's good to go I guess

Oh right

The modifying the Tether Cards part damn

[red axle]

Probably none because this mod is painfully vanilla

[tired notch]

I'm in the wrong channel.

I'm sorry.

[red axle]

No worries lmao

[red axle]

Took way too long to fix Bladefury and some Enhancements

They should now support custom ranks and suits made through SMODS

And also I buffed Dissected

[red axle]

New Joker, finally got around to making it

[red axle]

If Needlestorm hits a 10 of Spades card, then it will be granted 10 Threads, meaning when it breaks (assuming no more further increases in Threads), it grants 3 of the lowest cards in hand 10 incremental ranks

[red axle]

Halfway through making the Resonate Whirlwind Joker, it's themed after the Witness's whirlwind attack where you have to block with the Aegis to survive the cyclone
But I'm still thinking of ideas on what upsides this should give, especially to the suit displayed in the Joker

I could give Resonance enhancements to the surviving cards but hmm

[red axle]

I gave Resonance enhancements to surviving cards

[slate ravine]

These all look really good!

[slate ravine]

Ooooooooooooo, all the packs look really good so far!

[slate ravine]

If it wasn't clear already: you may need to ping me if u want me to see smth bc I don't habitually check here

[red axle]

Oh yeah gotcha

[red axle]

Whoops sorry for inactivity, got carried away once again
Splitgate 2 Alpha was too fun

[red axle]

I'm just gonna keep bumping so that the thread doesn't disappear from the channel list

Personal things have been going on, took up music theory classes

Actually I wonder if there's a way to make it so that the thread doesn't disappear from my channel list

[red axle]

Anywho, redesigned the MEGA packs and added Arc packs

[red axle]

It's a reference to Verity's Catatonic Decimation

Man talk about counterintuitive

[red axle]

Also i buffed the Resonant card to work with both debuffed and Catatonic cards

[red axle]

Implemented getting Subclass Editions, super proud of the animation here lmao

[somber cloud]

might wanna mention it'll self destruct

[red axle]

Oh yeah good catch

[slate ravine]

I can't wait to mess around with this

Mainly what happens with five of them together

[red axle]

There's a limit of 3

[red axle]

I just reread this and I thought you meant like 5 Catatonic cards instead of 5 Witness's Shatter
Damn
Yeah that's gonna be a problem

[cloud fox]

oh my lord the sounds are amazing. From what part of the game is it?

[slate ravine]

Yea I meant 5 supers, and I've been testing that with all the other supers, so why not this aswell

[slate ravine]

From what I gathered, it's inspired by the newest raid in Destiny 2 but isn't directly from the game

[red axle]

Oh no they are actually taken from the game

They are sounds from Root of Nightmares

[cloud fox]

oh that's cool

[somber cloud]

one of the best dungeons in the game, hell yeah\

[cloud fox]

Root is a raid, but I agree. I love the aesthetic of the weapons

[somber cloud]

Never felt like a raid

Shit has mechanics for 3 people and is soloable without needing anything fancy

[slate ravine]

monthly reminder this exists

[cloud fox]

i forgor 💀

[red axle]

Yeah it does
Every day I keep thinking about this mod but too many other things are taking up my time
Learning music theory, preparing for my graduation, new games, personal projects

I want to work on this mod again but there are so many things that I want to play or have to do

[dense wedge]

Marathon moment lol

[slate ravine]

That's fair, if I actually knew whatever coding language is used for balatro modding (idr which but ik I don't know it), then I'd offer to help make it

[dense wedge]

It's Lua strangely enough

[somber cloud]

yeah it's just lua lmfao

[slate ravine]

Idk Lua :p

[slate ravine]

Early monthly reminder that this exists

[distant knot]

Is this still the file to download for the mod?

wait nvm I think I found it

https://github.com/jitJet/Fatemaker

[distant knot]

does loadout do anything?

[red axle]

Nope

It was a UI practice that I left in

Forgot to remove it

[distant knot]

ah ok

This is my crash log, and this was my deck.

The game seems to crash only when I play the Prismatic Card

I think its because im playing a Prismatic Card without playing any other Dark/Light/Prismatic Cards

because once I played the normal flush (wasted a hand by getting red seal out of my deck), I completed the blind just fine

Update: it has to do with the prismatic card; I went into a different blind, played the prismatic card even by itself, and the game crashed

[slate ravine]

Earlier monthly reminder this exists

[red axle]

You guys practically have to wait until I run out of games to fawn over before I find the kick to work on this again :(

But do keep going with the monthly reminders
Maybe it'll jog something up one day

[slate ravine]

Oki!

[red axle]

👍

[slate ravine]

If I could get my lazy ass to learn Lua I'd offer to work on it in ur stead but that isn't happening for a bit

[dense wedge]

Don’t be giving me ideas

Only problem is I can’t art

[red axle]

I can

Somewhat

I usually only draw abstract patterns which is most of Balatro's enhancements

[slate ravine]

I'm learning Lua rn :3

[dense wedge]

Banger

[slate ravine]

Could someone remind me of the ideas that are to be implemented for the currently unimplemented jokers so that i can work on them? 👉👈
(They aren't in the official doc)

[red axle]

Ooough uhh I have not updated the doc for a long time, I kept most of my ideas in my head and I usually just wing it on the go

I still want to implement Exotic Weapon jokers

There's also consumable cards

[slate ravine]

I plan on working on it all, but to start are the rest of the super cards

[red axle]

If you're planning to start coding, don't start yet because I have an unreleased and unfinished update that I left off

[slate ravine]

oh

[red axle]

And I don't even know how much SMODS have been updated since uhh

The first week of March

[slate ravine]

let me check

idk github well enough to check

but the last release was last week so it updated at least once

[slate ravine]

@red axle The current release in the github still works with the newest version!

[red axle]

Ayyyy great news

I'm not at my computer currently so I'll push my update later

I'll have to decipher my code to see where I left it

[slate ravine]

I can work on the code in a doc or smth and then add it when the update is pushed

[red axle]

Just code in an IDE like visual studio code
Much clearer to see what you're typing

[slate ravine]

thas a better idea lol

[red axle]

I am unfortunately way too tired to walk you through the basics of programming right about now

But start with downloading Visual Studio Code

[slate ravine]

Ive spent the last few days learning Lua

im good

[red axle]

And reference how other mods make their own cards and Jokers if mine aren't enough

Gotcha

[slate ravine]

i just need to find the ideas for the two resonance supers and the needlestorm one that are in here-

oh and trancendance

[slate ravine]

oh shit wait you already made those

[red axle]

They're already implemented on my side

[slate ravine]

i saw when i scrolled up

what would need to be implimented, then?

[red axle]

Maybe some brand new cards
Fragment Jokers, Exotic Jokers or Consumables

Don't worry about the art, you can use a random card as a placeholder

[slate ravine]

damn, i was hoping to save new cards for later lol

[slate ravine]

i will when i try to impliment them

can i use my suggestions for the new cards? If not thas fine i jus need to know what the cards should do

[red axle]

Sure thing

I got a few tips on making cards more unique

• You can add specially spawned stickers or Enchancements not available through the shop or booster packs, like the Catatonic cards from before
• Charge up mechanics like Super Jokers
• Conditionals like what card should be played/scored/other actions required to perform in order for the effect to take effect

[slate ravine]

That's true, most exotics have a special condition or something to proc, or they build on subclass keywords that already take something to proc

[red axle]

Some ideas I have about exotics themed about getting headshot kills is that they could synergize around Aces

[slate ravine]

Oooooo, that could be fun

[red axle]

Or face cards, since they have heads lmao

[slate ravine]

rn i have 3 hours to work, so im going to work on the ideas we have more than the ideas that could be, and ill be doing fragments before exotics

[red axle]

Gotcha

[slate ravine]

I HEAVILY underestimated how much VS made this better

Already almost done with my first one despite this being my first time (sorta) writing lua on my own
(this is a big deal to me so yes im sharing)

[slate ravine]

As of typing this i have no confirmation if the random card selection on the first one works properly, but i got thru two fragments:

SMODS.Joker{
    key = "expulsion",
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Expulsion",
        text = {
            "If the played hand is all the same Void buff, grant x2 mult",
            "and chips but destroy the leftmost played card."
        }
    },
    atlas = 'Jokers',
    rarity = 2,
    cost = 4,
    blueprint_compat = false,
    eternal_compat = true,
    perishable_compat = true,
    unlocked = true,

    if context.joker_main then
        local over = 0
        local devo = 0
        local vola = 0
        for _, scoringCard in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                if scoringCard.config.center == G.P_CENTERS.m_fm_overshield then

                    vola = vola + 1
                end
        end
        if over = #context.scoring_hand or devo = #context.scoring_hand or vola = #context.scoring_hand then
            hand_chips = hand_chips * 2
            mult = mult * 2
            if context.destroy_card and context.destroy_card == context.scoring_hand[pseudorandom_element(#context.scoring_hand, psudoseed('balala'))] then
                return {remove = true}
            end
        end
    end
end
}

SMODS.Joker{
    key = "vigilance",
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Vigilance",
        text = {
            "If the last hand of a blind wins,",
            "grant all scored cards Overshield",
        }
    },
    atlas = 'Jokers',
    rarity = 2,

            if hands_remaining == 0 then
                for _, scoringCard in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                    scoringCard:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.m_fm_overshield)
                end
            end
        end
    end
}

[slate ravine]

eh sleep is overrated, have another

SMODS.Joker{
    key = "instability",
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Instability",
        text = {
            "If your hand contains a [random hand here], grant",
            "the first unenhanced card that was scored Volatile",
        }
    },
    atlas = 'Jokers',
    rarity = 2,
    cost = 4,
    blueprint_compat = false,

    unlocked = true,
    discovered = true,
    pos = {x=8, y=1},
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main then
            local hands = {}
            for k, v in pairs(G.GAME.hands) do
                if v.visible then  
                    hands[#hands + 1] = k 
                end
            end

                        end
                    end
                end
            end
        end
}

(if you notice, i am not doing formatting bc i can't be fucked to do it)

[keen widget]

Finally quits playing D2 and gets hooked on balatro
D2 Balatro mod

[red axle]

Welcome welcome

[keen widget]

i'll never escape 😔

[red axle]

Solid work so far

[red axle]

The code grants overshield but the description says volatile, might wanna look into it

[red axle]

Well, since you're an active developer for the project now, treat yourself to a nice [FATEMAKER] title next to your name

[red axle]

New pre-release go wild
https://github.com/jitJet/Fatemaker/releases/tag/v0.1.1-alpha

It's been like 3 months since I touched on this project and I forgot where I left off

• Some new Super Jokers and Subclass Packs
• Fixed some bugged effects that some Jokers, Enhancements and Stickers have
• Balance changes

[slate ravine]

Oh shit, yea lol (I was tired when making these)

[slate ravine]

There is no escape, O guardian mine

[dense wedge]

Wish Dargon? In my balala mod thread????

[slate ravine]

Wish dragon in your D2 balala mod thread

[slate ravine]

I did :3

[keen widget]

[slate ravine]

Fixed

I just realized idk how the assets folder works so I won't even be able to test these unless I override another joker temporarily

[slate ravine]

!Notice: Ward of Dawn has the wrong graphic (I didn't edit anything as of right now, it came this way)

[keen widget]

personally i think bugs should be features to keep it more accurate with Destiny

[slate ravine]

Ignore this, it was some tomfoolery on my end, reloading it fixed it

[slate ravine]

That'd be true lol

[keen widget]

well skating spectral card that auto takes you to ante 8

[slate ravine]

1/10 chance of ending the run (falling into the void because you mistimed a single input)

[keen widget]

make a big 3orb text pop up when it happens

[slate ravine]

Instead of a default loss screen it should be "your light fades away" :3

Also I'm done testing the newly added supers, nothing crashed

[keen widget]

banger idea honestly

joker: res token, its just Mr Bones but Destiny

[slate ravine]

Lmao

[keen widget]

im gonna install and play around tonight i love the mod idea so much

[slate ravine]

But there was one issue

[keen widget]

there's always one issue...

[slate ravine]

The whirlwind one didn't grant a random resonance enhancement

[keen widget]

[slate ravine]

Idk why but it's heresy to use math.random in modding this game

[dense wedge]

It is because then it won’t work with seeds

[slate ravine]

im going to replace every math.random with a pseudoelement

[dense wedge]

Good

[slate ravine]

already the one im on rn is a being a pain

[keen widget]

Tested out the mod, got red seal mult arc card, win immediately, yeah this is epic

[slate ravine]

hanging chad

[keen widget]

I wasn't lucky enough to acquire a chad in that run

😔

my economy was trash because any good joker i got was rental

[slate ravine]

||cheat it in :3||

[slate ravine]

One is waiting to get it thru luck, and the other is the left path

[keen widget]

I love evil things so I'm gonna go with RNG

[slate ravine]

I'm going to start growling

WHERE IS THIS ERROR EVEN COMING FROM

[keen widget]

[slate ravine]

@red axle any ideas?

I'm taking a break to play, what a surprise, destiny 2

[red axle]

You're asking a man who has not worked on the mod for three months i have zero ideas
But I'll look into it later

[slate ravine]

Update: Expulsion crashes before even loading the game and Vigilance doesn't trigger at all

Instability has the same issue as Vigilance

[slate ravine]

This is... definitely an experience

Going to be sleeping for now

[red axle]

Welcome to programming

[slate ravine]

I now feel bad for you bc of what you went through for the supers, alone

[red axle]

For every card you make the momentum will grow
Because you can just reuse some parts of your code
But the PAIN is still all the same

[slate ravine]

I copied the way you changed the enhancements of cards word for word, so idk why Vigilance and Instability aren't working

[red axle]

Are the ones you posted yesterday before the most up to date ones

[slate ravine]

-# "word for word" being a figure of speech

[slate ravine]

I edited them in here to keep them up to date

[red axle]

Gotcha
If I have time later, I'll implement your Jokers into the mod and then try to debug it from there

[slate ravine]

Okis

Is sleep time for me fr this time, gn

(or good morning, if that's what it is for you)

[slate ravine]

Fixed the Expulsion crash, but all of them just... don't trigger

[keen widget]

maybe its just calculating too much at once which is why it crashes and now it isnt calculating anything

you have lobotomised the cards 😔

[slate ravine]

none of these should be particularly taxing

and again they no longer crash

[keen widget]

from the video it just seemed like a lot was going on at once

[slate ravine]

they just dont trigger

[keen widget]

playing shuffle animations, changing type etc

[slate ravine]

that was a different thing

[keen widget]

hmm maybe its just destiny 2 coded and destined to break

[slate ravine]

im talking of these

[slate ravine]

is half of all coding just asking "WHY WON'T YOU WORK????"?

(ignore the graphic for it, i used needlestorm as a base when it wasn't fully implimented)

[dense wedge]

[keen widget]

it's less asking and more crying while a console yells at you

[slate ravine]

q;woeihdaeuhsgd;kajdsh;guhes;dozihv;oajh;doihga;soidhv';iaweh;of

dargsdfbsdf

What the FUCK is there left for me to be wrong abt with this

[dense wedge]

Your local variables in joker_main (over, devo, vola) don't carry over to end_of_round

Are you familiar with scope concepts?

[slate ravine]

oh shit ur right

[slate ravine]

i am, im just stupid

[dense wedge]

lol

[slate ravine]

it still didnt work

My stupidity strikes again, i was checking for the end of the round when i meant to check for a scoring hand

[slate ravine]

FAILURE AFTER FAILURE AFTER FAILURE
AFTER FAILURE AFTER FAILURE AFTER
FAILURE AFTER FAILURE AFTER FAILURE
AFTER FAILURE AFTER FAILURE

THE RESULTS REFUSE TO ALTER

AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND
AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND
AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND
AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN

MY FAITH BEGINS TO FALTER

oh wait, wrong reference-

[red axle]

That's it you're getting into the programmer mindset

[slate ravine]

Everything I've checked says this should be right, but the highlighted if statement isn't triggering. I don't understand what's going wrong or where

[slate ravine]

@red axle I don't see a .JSON file anywhere

[red axle]

What are you looking for a JSON file for

[slate ravine]

#💻・modding-dev message

[red axle]

Oh the one that holds all the mod details
Hang on

Hang on a second

You DID add the Jokers in the data/jokers.lua file right

[slate ravine]

yea

[red axle]

The mod prefix in that conversation is used to mark a mod's own features and cards
In my case it's "fm"
So to apply an effect, you need to type "fm_overshield" instead of just "overshield"

That goes for every single enhancement

[slate ravine]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[red axle]

YEAHHHHHHHHH

I am proud of you

[slate ravine]

It's very simple (comparatively) but still!!

[red axle]

I actually wanted to do automatic discards but I just couldn't figure it out back then

[red axle]

STILL, you did VERY WELL
Fragment Jokers are supposed to be more simple than Super Jokers so you're doing a banger job

[slate ravine]

I stole borrowed the code from this link that N' gave me https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/d519ea2c28a92ab0abc08a8a83fc7cd8d998d411/src/blinds.lua#L27

[red axle]

What is programming if not stealing from other people

[slate ravine]

truee

onto the next one! (also they are all going to have the icons of the super that matches their element bc i can't be fucked to make art lmao)

[red axle]

I can do the art but also I am very lazy

I basically rip images and icons from the game and tack them onto cards if it's too hard to draw certain things

Abstract patterns, I can do those

Drawing and shading physical objects, yeah that one I'm struggling with

[slate ravine]

IT SYNERGIZES HOW I WANTED, TOO

[red axle]

FUCK YEAH

How did it synergize

[slate ravine]

it discards a random card in hand, and what is void about?

[red axle]

Oh ho ho ho YEAH

[dense wedge]

We are so up

Fatemaker is back on the menu

***Now make the Riven fight ***

[red axle]

OH NO

Closest thing you're going to get is the Corrupted Wish blind

[slate ravine]

Technically that's the entire raid, so you already did

[dense wedge]

Ok fine...

***MAKE VERITY ***

[red axle]

Plan to
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1h_ZHc5qOL-Ylysk8MIVf3ZK3gT6RkxibSa8WuhggThE/edit?tab=t.0
Scroll to the bottom at the "Finalized Edge" section

[slate ravine]

You can't think of something we don't plan to make

[dense wedge]

mf getting philisophical on me

[slate ravine]

:3

[slate ravine]

I need to do smth but expect another video showcasing another fully working joker in 20-40 minutes :3

[red axle]

WOO

Christ you're quick

[slate ravine]

Once I get rolling I can go rly fast :3
-# is he going to say giggity? Should I say giggity? Are other people allowed to say giggity?

[red axle]

Giggity

[dense wedge]

Giggity

[slate ravine]

Giggity

Sorry the event I'm trying to make happen is being a lil weird but I want to add it bc it looks odd otherwise

Fuck it, flourishes are overrated anyway

[red axle]

Ooooo very very nice

[slate ravine]

Onto the next!

[red axle]

Christ don't you need sleep

[slate ravine]

I am machine, I never sleep
I keep my eyes wide open

-# TDG jumpscare :3

[red axle]

Plus, I got a couple notes

• You can look into my other Jokers to see how some keywords are coloured and formatted, such as elemental words, chip and mult values, important mechanics like "last hand that wins the blind", etc

There are different but limited colours to choose from so I suggest looking into it

• The fragment names should have "..... of ....." formatting. For void, it should be something like "Echo of ...."

[slate ravine]

Formatting be damned

[red axle]

Damn

[slate ravine]

I'm lacking the patience to learn formatting and ill go back to fix the names

[red axle]

I'll format them later myself when you're done

[slate ravine]

Yay! :D

[red axle]

But formatting isn't really hard its just adding brackets around words that needed to be formatted

[slate ravine]

Another one (i wouldn't know how to format this one, so i rigged it in the video to trigger it, but the code is the non-rigged version)

On a roll :3

[red axle]

Ayyy that's sick

You can check Thundercrash's code to see how I did random hand types

[slate ravine]

Again, the random hand types are coded in, i just can't be bothered to learn how to display the selected hand type

[slate ravine]

well 3 in one night is good enough ig

too tired to even tell where to start here

[slate ravine]

Quantum cards lol

[keen widget]

[slate ravine]

Fixed that, but i have to fix smth else before it's good to go

[slate ravine]

forgot to attach the video

[slate ravine]

It took a LOT of reordering and a LOT more time, but is done! :3

One more for Void iirc

[red axle]

Ooooo that's very nice, great job

[slate ravine]

Ugh, nvm, i forgot to check something and i found smth i need to fix

Had to change it again, it should be balanced because you'll have, at most, 5 discards in any given (vanilla) game. If not, then ill make it -2 discards

[red axle]

Ooooh shit that is VERY nice
You're making a lot of progress on custom mechanics like redrawing cards and automatic discards

[slate ravine]

All thanks to the wiki and work of other ppl lol

[abstract garden]

the loudest sound effects in the universe btw holy

i like the enhancement designs though

[red axle]

Yeah I gotta fine tune how loud some of these sounds are

They're sound effects ripped from the game and they all have varying volumes

[abstract garden]

isn't it 6? (red deck + wasteful + recyclomancy)

[red axle]

They used a debug tool to get more discards so that they don't have to play the game all the way through to test something

[abstract garden]

no, i meant the max number of vanilla discards

[red axle]

O

Yeah probably maybe

[slate ravine]

the card subtracts a discard

so it's at most 5 with that card

[abstract garden]

ohhhh i see now

also isn't it spelled persistence? i assume you haven't done formatting yet, just pointing it out

[red axle]

I'll handle the formatting later

[slate ravine]

I'm just making the code work

I need to rework the last two, so far my only idea is "-2 hand size, x1.25 chips per each Void card scored" or smth, so im open to ideas

[red axle]

I don't play Balatro enough to know about balancing
But we should be more careful around handing out multiplied values

[slate ravine]

most likely, yea

hence why im open to ideas

[red axle]

Alright so
You wanna rework Vigilance and Expulsion? I got a couple of ideas
For Vigilance maybe you can do something like

• Discarding 3 overshield cards in one hand will grant you +1 hand, but once per blind
• Scoring 5% of the blind goal in one hand will grant a random unenhanced card Overshield

For Expulsion:

• Upon the detonation of a Volatile card, its adjacent cards will be made Volatile
• Upon the detonation of a Volatile card, its Mult value will be evenly distributed across all Volatile cards in hand (ex: When a Volatile card with +10 Mult gets scored, the two Volatile cards in your hand will gain +5 Mult each)

[slate ravine]

Ill add those first two bc i agree that vigilance is a little underwhelming, but i wouldn't say expulsion needs a rework (at most fine-tuning), and i wouldn't know how to even do the last one in general.

I'd also need two ideas for the last two jokers

[red axle]

Which one are the last two Jokers again

[slate ravine]

Echo of Reprisal - Scoring 3 or less Void cards causes all Void supers to gain 1 charge

Echo of Starvation - Upon granting a charge to a Void super, grant an unenhanced card in hand Devour

I can't check when a super gains charge and I don't like the first one that much

[red axle]

I can take Starvation and Reprisal from here, I think I have some fragments of code that can look into a Joker's custom properties, like super meters
Reprisal gives super energy when you kill enemies near you
So maybe something like

• Grants extra charges to Void supers for every card scored with the same suit as a scoring Void card

[slate ravine]

Oooooo, that's good, and better than what I had

[slate ravine]

I can't figure out how to make it only trigger once, i can get it to either add as many hands as there are overshielded cards discarded or i can't make it work

Ill come back to it, onto solar

[red axle]

All this while I'm trying to figure out how to make my code detect a Joker
And turns out I used joker.config.center.key instead ofjoker.config.center_key

[slate ravine]

lmao

[red axle]

Never mind it also still doesn't work

[red axle]

WOO I GOT IT WORKING

[slate ravine]

WOOOOOO

Since we're sharing:

[red axle]

That is leftmost

[slate ravine]

Damn i got left and right mixed up again

leftmost was the intent, i just wasn't thinking when putting the definition

[red axle]

Man implementing Echo of Starvation is harder than I anticipated

I made it so that it will only grant a random card Devour if a Void Super is fully charged instead of getting 1 charge, so that it's not overpowering
However, there's a problem
Shadowshot's ability is instant, meaning that if it reaches 5 charges, it will instantly shoot a tether and reset the charge back to 0
Leaving Echo of Starvation with no way of detecting it and then giving a random card Devour

[slate ravine]

Can you detect when the tether is placed rather than when shadowshot reaches 5?

[red axle]

Hmm

Might not work, since

• The Devour card may potentially be spawned on a Tether card, which will destroy itself in 3 hands which ain't ideal
  • Or might be funny idk lmao
• If the tethers stay, then the fragment will keep giving random cards Devour instead of just once

[slate ravine]

I want to say "make another step in shadowshot so that you can detect it" but i wouldn't even know what it'd be

[red axle]

Timing is one of the hardest parts about modding Balatro

Some things you wanna happen right away, some thing you wanna happen after you play a hand, etc etc

[slate ravine]

true, and sometimes the addition of something else makes you change the timing

could you have shadowshot check if theres an echo of starvation card, and if there is have it signal to the starvation card that it triggered?

unrelated but i need to bring it up or else id forget: you forgot 3 words for scorch making it so that they didn't get destroyed after doing the x3 mult lol

[red axle]

What 3 words

[slate ravine]

remove = true

[red axle]

Scorch cards are supposed to be destroyed after igniting

[slate ravine]

ik, in context.destroy_card you didn't have it, meaning they wouldn't destroy after igniting

at least in my testing they didn't

[red axle]

Is this a ghost card type of scenario

[slate ravine]

no, hold on ill take a video

nvm, im stupid it was Char being fucky

[red axle]

I managed to figure it out, added a new value for the void supers just for interactions with Echo of Starvation, so when it's charged, the value flips to true, when it's not, it flips to false
When it's true, then it will spawn the Devour card

Alright that's enough modding for one day for me

[slate ravine]

Nice!!

[slate ravine]

Bug Report: If multiple cards are ignited on the same turn, they do... this, whatever "this" even is

[keen widget]

i love seeing all the work going on here it inspired me to try and get back into coding

[red axle]

Wanna help with Fatemaker :)

[keen widget]

i am far from the skill level for a project of this scope but if im ever confident enough to feel like i can add value to the project for sure! i havent worked with Lua in about 11 years so im like basically learning fresh

[red axle]

I started from zero too, before this I don't know any Lua at all

[slate ravine]

I learned Lua 4 days ago and have added almost 6 jokers

[keen widget]

im just not confident enough in my abilities yet

[red axle]

Bah not like we're gonna kick your ass when you mess up

[keen widget]

i got stuck for a solid 5 hours yesterday trying to work out how to add stored mult to a card when specific jokers were sold

i did get that epic YIPPEEEE moment when it finally worked for no reason

[red axle]

That's the programming life isn't it

Slave away for hours on something you thought was simple to implement and then finally feel the high of actually completing it

[slate ravine]

I've been in the server helping with coding for what, 3 days? In that time I've had 226 messages in the dev channel

[keen widget]

im just kinda fucking around making stupid things to familiarise myself with the API etc but im also like hella scared to ask others for assistance in public because theres like several thousand people that will see your confusion and thats just so terrifying lmao

[red axle]

They've been a big help so far from this mod's emergence to now
From reporting bugs to drawing up concepts for more Jokers and abilities, to now actively developing with me

[keen widget]

i will lock in and become goated i promise

[red axle]

I have personally DM'd one of the creators of Steamodded to help me with this mod
Don't be afraid to ask for help

[keen widget]

sadly im one of the its not so simple cases for asking for help autism tings

[red axle]

Hey
Takes a while to get used to

[keen widget]

i like the approach of ctrl f search for issue im having and pray

rn im just kinda learning how to apply multiple effects to cards by trying to Frankenstein vanilla cards together and just learning how everything kinda stitches together

once i understand how to layout code etc I'll probably learn quite quick

[red axle]

Which vanilla cards, enhancements? Jokers?

[keen widget]

jokers are my focus rn but i was gonna look at enhancements today

[red axle]

You have come to the right place
I have toiled for hours dissecting how Enhancements work when every other mod mostly focused on Jokers

[keen widget]

i love star wars and it has a lot of pre established ideas and stuff so im using that as my base so i wanted to make light side and dark side card enhancements and make jokers specifically to build with those enhancements

thats my kinda end goal for phase 1 of learning balala modding

[red axle]

Oh hey that's basically the same thing I'm doing

[keen widget]

my favourite joker ive made is called My Collection, and its like you sell lightsaber jokers and they add mult to the collection card so its like campfire spare trousers hybrid

was rly proud of it when i eventually got it working x3

[red axle]

That's radical

[keen widget]

i cant workout how to get audio to play on the selling of a joker event though thats the only thing still stumping me

[slate ravine]

Aside from this bug and no flair, Ember of Char works now!

[keen widget]

[red axle]

There should be a context for selling Jokers, maybe you can do like an if-case
If you sell this Joker, then you can use play_sound('xxxxxxx')

[keen widget]

i have the selling joker context its just finding the place where i can put it logically im really bad at ordering my operations

i am still a messy coder a habit i can never seem to break

[red axle]

Yeah
Timing is one of the hardest things to nail down when modding Balatro

[slate ravine]

Case and point echo of starvation:

[keen widget]

i have a personal vendetta against lua

it ruined coding for me

i used to code gmod addons and servers yearssssss ago and that was all GLua

and its just like if hitler was a coding language actual worst thing ever

[red axle]

Lmaooooo

GMod's real old

One update and half of your downloaded addons break

[keen widget]

thats why people used to pay people like me to make sure that didnt happen

gmod developers back then can simply be described as a hoard of autistic kids extorting rich old people trying to extort children

it was a war of attrition

[red axle]

Christ there's a social hierarchy there
The GMod community lore runs deep

[keen widget]

GPT destroyed the war though

we lost :'(

[slate ravine]

Lmao

[keen widget]

i think a solid half of the og gmod devs are just transfemme software developers now

i went down the transfemme athletics evil path

[slate ravine]

There's a transfem athletics path? I thought there was only coder

[keen widget]

its a rare DLC that is only available in some regions

[slate ravine]

Ah

I kinda want to eat a pickle but it's 4:25 am rn :3

[keen widget]

theres no better time for pickle consumption

[slate ravine]

Oh shit next one is ember of mercy Dx

[keen widget]

good luck brave soul o7

[red axle]

I have seen you stay up hours you shouldn't be on

[slate ravine]

I think ik how to do it, it'll just be pain

[slate ravine]

I once stayed up until 9 am

[keen widget]

sleep is for the weak, stay awake until you pass out for a WEEK

rahhh

[slate ravine]

Real!!

[keen widget]

gonna start my day with a joint and cup of tea and then stare at walls of text for the entire day

[slate ravine]

Swap that for a monster and another monster and that's how I want to start my days :3

[keen widget]

[slate ravine]

Tho tea does sound nice

[red axle]

Damn you live like this

[keen widget]

I've been tryna be a bit more healthy so ive cut out energy drinks and most soft drinks apart from Dr Pepper, i love Dr Pepper too much

[slate ravine]

No sleep Transfemme coder is the best coder :3

[slate ravine]

Dr pepper #1

[keen widget]

its such a magical drink

[slate ravine]

I got a 3 liter of it recently so anytime I've wanted some I could get some :3

[keen widget]

also this mod isnt helping the Destiny players will do anything but play destiny stereotype

[red axle]

You will never escape

[slate ravine]

O, guardian mine

[red axle]

My autism has practically etched Destiny's name into my soul

[keen widget]

im an ex dungeon/raid farmer so i escaped before i became racist

[slate ravine]

We're getting a full Star Wars expansion sometime

[keen widget]

it looks so cool

[slate ravine]

You and I farmed different raids

[red axle]

The new director seems like he knows what's wrong about the game
He passed the entry level check for me when he led Heresy

[keen widget]

i was a DSC and VoG farmer

the worst kind

[slate ravine]

Oh no

[keen widget]

but like I was an OG farmer for both so I was there before the racists moved in

[slate ravine]

Only thing worse is GoS

[keen widget]

I farmed like month 1 of release when it was still fun and fresh

hot take but Salvations Edge fucking sucks and i dont mean in terms of difficulty n stuff the mechanics are just too slow and tedious and 4th encounter is just brick eating simulator for anyone that isnt inside of dissecting and being inside just sucks because everyone is talking over each other constantly, and then the witness is just like kinda just like "okay"

[slate ravine]

Alr, which one of you goobers is the axolotl

[keen widget]

I have only just logged onto my PC I am innocent

[keen widget]

my gos clears btw

[slate ravine]

O_O

Why torture yourself so?

[keen widget]

honestly the worst part was praying my team hit the DSM and entrance skates if that happened then it was rly chill

GoS farms are only bad when you play with GoS farmers but I was playing with my old clan

[slate ravine]

Nice :3

[keen widget]

I'm hoping the next dungeon's solo flawless is as fun as Sundered's

I love having a fun solo dungeon experience compared to like fucking Ghosts or smth that was so painful

[slate ravine]

You are good enough to do solo flawless dungeons...?

[keen widget]

I've done every solo flawless apart from Warlords and Vesper's

this is my baby I will always love throne

[slate ravine]

I was abt to ask for help with Warlord's lol

[slate ravine]

Yk you can skip all the way to the end of it without killing anything?

[keen widget]

it doesnt work anymore

😔

The ogre trigger got changed in BL I think

[slate ravine]

If there's a will and I'm bored enough then there's a way

[keen widget]

if you find smth the dungeon speed community will love you forever

if we could skip to the end the WR would be close to sub 2m

for solo

for a team it would be sub 2m

[slate ravine]

Oh no, the boss won't trigger or anything, I meant only physically getting to the end of it

[keen widget]

ohhhh well in that case yeah you can do that lol

but I play for funny number go uppies

[slate ravine]

Same reason I play balalala :3

[keen widget]

I do enjoy oobing from Throne into Last wish though

it's really difficult to do but it's really fun

idek if it's possible anymore

[slate ravine]

Try getting 5 golden guns, you do so many retriggers it's inane

[slate ravine]

I've seen it done before

There was also a new load discovered where you can go to that weird portal gateway place from shattered throne

[keen widget]

im friends with the guy that discovered the tech for it when they worked out how to set up DSMs it was like watching Oppenheimer having his moment

you can see all the potential unlocking in his mind

he's banned now :c

[slate ravine]

Awh :c

[keen widget]

it was the guy that made the AFK macro for pale heart farming

I miss Car Man

[slate ravine]

damn it, i can't find a way to detect card retriggers

[devout matrix]

Is there a build I can download for this or no ?

I wanna play it so bad

I am a retired destiny player and this mod seems fun

[slate ravine]

There is!

let me grab it rq

[devout matrix]

Ok

[slate ravine]

Wrong one, sorry

https://github.com/jitJet/Fatemaker/releases/tag/v0.1.1-alpha

@red axle If you can pin messages here, could you pin the newest release that's out to cause as little confusion as possible?

Unrelated, but Char and Mercy embers are done (still need to fix ignition retriggering, also it's an older video but I fixed it and now the cards ignited by Char also self-destruct, i just can't be bothered to set it up and record it again)

[devout matrix]

YES! Thank you so much I’ll download it when I get home after my walk

[slate ravine]

Ofc!

[slate ravine]

Fixed ignition retriggering! (it was 3 missing words again)

[keen widget]

fuck yeah

i made no progress on anything today and made a cake instead i love ADHD

[slate ravine]

You made progress on making a cake!

[keen widget]

[slate ravine]

it looks good :3

[keen widget]

its so good!!

bottom layer is chocolate sponge top is coffee!

[slate ravine]

Oooooooooo

[dense wedge]

ooooo yum

[red axle]

I don't think I can, need someone with a higher rank to pin em

[slate ravine]

apparently there's a mod you can ask: Egg

[slate ravine]

Hehehehehehehe

[red axle]

WOO that's SICK

[slate ravine]

I can't figure out how to do the rank up message for the life of me but other than that it's done :3

[keen widget]

I cannot for the life of me find an SMOD planet example

[slate ravine]

I can't give an example, but i can give the wiki on consumables

[keen widget]

I read the wiki page and it just like kinda wasnt helpful idk

some of the documentation is really lackluster to me

[slate ravine]

fair, Eremel hasn't released the updated documentation yet so it's kinda bad

[slate ravine]

Also, i think i already said it but ill say it again anyway: Since ur the original creator of the mod, you have final say, so if u think a suggestion should be modified, reworked, or scrapped, lmk :3

[slate ravine]

What are you looking for in the example, like how to make a new one or...?

[keen widget]

Yeah I wanna make new planet card

I have like a base it's just not showing up in the planet collection

so im assuming im being dumb

wait omg I think I found smth

omg

damn still not in collections

[red axle]

I'll speak up if I feel like the cards could be better
But the cards are fine for now

[slate ravine]

Oki!

[slate ravine]

OMG I ALMOST GOT A JOKER TO WORK 1ST TRY??
("Almost" being the key word here, tho)

[keen widget]

I've made my own progress, the card is definately in the game because the game is now crashing!

[slate ravine]

It's good it's in the game at least!

[keen widget]

I fixed the crash but now the card wont display a name of a description only "error"

[slate ravine]

Can you share the code?

[keen widget]

    set = 'Planet',           
    key = 'c_rotj_tatooine',  
    cost = 5,
    config = { hand_type = 'Pair', 'Two Pair' },
    pos = { x = 1, y = 0 },
    discovered = true,
    atlas = 'Planets',
    pools = {["Shop"] = true},
    set_card_type_badge = function(self, card, badges)
        badges[1] = create_badge(localize(self.key), get_type_colour(self or card.config, card), nil, 1.2)
    end,
    loc_txt = {
        ['en-us'] = {
            ['c_rotj_tatooine'] = {
    name = "Tatooine",
    text = "Level up Pair and Two Pair"
            },

        }
    }
}```

I'm sorry if it's bad a lot of it is just me throwing things at a wall trying to see what works

The levelling of two pair isnt working but pair does, I think I have to code a thing to level up 2 hands in one go

the base code is just from the examples in SMOD but like I had to add stuff to actually get it to not crash

[slate ravine]

Maybe look at Vanilla Remade black hole?

[keen widget]

oh fuck yeah that's a good point

okay i implemented the blackhole code to test and now i just need to reverse engineer it

IM THE GOAT

now to fix the card so it actually displays like literally anything

[slate ravine]

Yippee!!

[keen widget]

I dont think that's meant to happen

now I need to work out how to like yeah

[slate ravine]

I hate to suggest this for a second time, but: can't you look at Vanilla Remade for how to do the text?

[keen widget]

I think I worked it out I need to look into badges

doing this while im sleepy as heck is not the best idea x3

[slate ravine]

Caffination? :3

[keen widget]

my ADHD means caffeine does nothing but make me focus a bit more but not wake me up x3

[slate ravine]

So that is a side effect of adhd, noted
(that happens to me too but i didn't know what caused it :3)

[keen widget]

stimulants are how to make ADHD less bad

[slate ravine]

Im afraid of those :3

[keen widget]

Why is the act of making a card display a name so difficult

I'm looking at Blackhole and like i dont understand how it displays its text

    key = 'black_hole',
    set = 'vremade_Spectral',
    pos = { x = 9, y = 3 },
    hidden = true,
    soul_set = 'Planet',
    use = function(self, card, area, copier)
        update_hand_text({ sound = 'button', volume = 0.7, pitch = 0.8, delay = 0.3 },
            { handname = localize('k_all_hands'), chips = '...', mult = '...', level = '' })
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            trigger = 'after',
            delay = 0.2,
            func = function()
                play_sound('tarot1')
                card:juice_up(0.8, 0.5)
                G.TAROT_INTERRUPT_PULSE = true
                return true
            end
        }))
        update_hand_text({ delay = 0 }, { mult = '+', StatusText = true })
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            trigger = 'after',
            delay = 0.9,
            func = function()
                play_sound('tarot1')
                card:juice_up(0.8, 0.5)
                return true
            end
        }))
        update_hand_text({ delay = 0 }, { chips = '+', StatusText = true })

        delay(1.3)
        for poker_hand_key, _ in pairs(G.GAME.hands) do
            level_up_hand(card, poker_hand_key, true)

        update_hand_text({ sound = 'button', volume = 0.7, pitch = 1.1, delay = 0 },

    end,
    can_use = function(self, card)
        return true
    end
}```

[slate ravine]

It doesn't even look like it has text from that

[keen widget]

yeah and it's not like calling any specific localisation or anything

well it is but not for the text display

actually wait I might be having my oppenheimer moment

I was too hopeful :c

[slate ravine]

:<

[keen widget]

This is the most unhelpful thing though, i dont wanna know how to use another planets description i wanna learn how to do it myself

[slate ravine]

@red axle Would you want the code ive made so far? (after im done adding comments)

[red axle]

Sure thing

I'll add them and upload them to github

[slate ravine]

Yeaaaaaaaa... don't do that just yet, there's some things with them i still need to change/fix but ill have to ask more questions in #💻・modding-dev to try

[red axle]

Nono there's actually two different types of uploading to github
One is just for storage purposes, like a backup, this is what we call a "push"
The other is for actually releasing it

[slate ravine]

Ohh, idk how github works lmao

[red axle]

It's going to save you a lot of time to learn how github works than just putting your files here

[slate ravine]

I would rather incorporate Balatro into FNAF using a 1998 computer running on a potato than learn Github, because I would at keast have a chance of learning how to do the former

[red axle]

Wh

Alright I know we're about self-deprecating jokes and all but come on now, it's not that hard

[slate ravine]

Learning Lua is one thing, Github is another

[red axle]

You sure I couldn't convince you to use Github

[slate ravine]

You could give me a unicorn that poops flying pigs, i still wouldn't learn it

[red axle]

Suit yourself

[slate ravine]

Still want it?

[red axle]

Yeah just put it here

[slate ravine]

:3 (Ignore the template at first)

Woah the thing actually sent as a text file

[keen widget]

I managed to fix my issue after some eepy!

[red axle]

Ayyyyy nice

[keen widget]

the more I'm getting into the swing of things the more im thinking I might actually work on the project with you guys in the near future

could be fun to make some consumables for the mod

[red axle]

We have consumables planned in the form of weapon perks
Like Voltshot jolting some of your cards, Incandescent granting all Scorch cards in hand 1 stack of Scorch, etc

[keen widget]

that's a cool idea

we legally need to make a rainmaker consumable that gives you 20 glimmer

[red axle]

I actually did think about adding a custom currency but it never really went anywhere

[keen widget]

make an entirely new shop you can only access on boss blinds called Xur

it's guaranteed to have a least 1 rare joker but costs like legendary shards instead of dolans

when will Rylee learn that pos x and y start at 0, 0
find out on the next episode of silly woman

[keen widget]

Shaders

looks inside
trigonometry
leaves

[keen widget]

Surely having
config = { chips = 50, mult = 15 },
and

       return { vars = { self.config.chips, self.config.mult } }```
would work for the edition but no im so confoose

[keen widget]

I GOT IT WORKING IM SO HAPPY

[slate ravine]

WOOOOO!!

[keen widget]

I love the shader, I used a mix of the one on the voidwalker edition and the example shader and just fucked around until I got a cool effect

[keen widget]

Todays progress, I kinda learned how to use shaders! I worked out how editions work and also consumables!!

my confidence is steadily building even though I'm hitting random hurdles this is rly rly fun, thank you guys for interesting me enough in this to wanna learn!!!!

I'm gonna spend tomorrow working around with more complex logic when scoring cards with jokers etc and then I might take a crack at making some D2 related consumables

[keen widget]

@slate ravine@red axlewhat do we think

I was bored so I wanted to see how easy it would be do make a raid banner

also if you dont do a little dance with your mouse to celebrate victories you're not truly gaming

[slate ravine]

Oooooo, thas cool

[slate ravine]

fr lol

[keen widget]

Just like destiny I will perkeo until I have 10000 raid banners

[slate ravine]

Just trade in your legendary shards smh

[keen widget]

I miss them so much

Also do you like my budget perkeo, it does the same thing but doesnt do negatives

[slate ravine]

I have over 600 banners still from them, and i had so many i ran out of space to get more before they dissapeared

[slate ravine]

nice!

[keen widget]

I think im sitting at about 2300 banners still

[slate ravine]

Jeez

do you have almost nothing else in your inventory?

[keen widget]

Da vault!

I do have to delete raid banners often though lmao

I just had nothing else to spend my shards on on the final day

[slate ravine]

fair

[keen widget]

I'm a mod in a streamers chat and he's streaming with like 5 people rn so I have to moderate over 2k people

[slate ravine]

Alone? that doesn't seem fair if he has over 2k viewers

I FIXED MERCY TO DO ALL UNENHANCED CARDS THAT ARE RETRIGGERED FUCK YES

[keen widget]

oh god not alone lol

just lots of messages zooming through chat

[keen widget]

YIPPEEEEE

[keen widget]

he's streaming with MrRoflWaffles atm so it's a lot of non Destiny players in chat

they're also doing underlight DSC blind so backseating is insane

[slate ravine]

Ah

[keen widget]

I'm gonna think of a bunch of Destiny themed consumable ideas tomorrow and make a bunch

[red axle]

Holy shit I've actually been wanting to make this for Raid Boss blinds but I kept procrastinating
Did you also draw the art yourself too??
God that's AMAZING

[keen widget]

I used some random assets and slapped them together

I have 0 artistic talent

but I also refuse to use AI so I just settle for mashing random assets together and adding filters n shit

Since I'm not like comitting to anything rn am just basically making everything placeholder icons but pretty ones

[red axle]

Usually I just fire up Blender and then copy paste a render into Aseprite
That's how I made some Super Jokers' art like Winter’s Wrath and Glacial Quake

[keen widget]

[red axle]

Can't really do that for Fragment Jokers since they're just icons
And super low res too

[keen widget]

I like using Photoshops like hand drawn filters for cards

it looks cool x3

like this placeholder

General grevious when I drop him in the oil

[red axle]

Acid*

[keen widget]

Tempering my grevious in acid

[slate ravine]

Have you made "the most overrated character anyone has ever seen" into a card?

[keen widget]

Which one? I can think of 20494584587356484

I did turn one of the banking clan people into an economy joker!

[slate ravine]

The one with 5 lines in the trilogy, and one of them was "Aaaaahhhh!"

[keen widget]

hehe booba fett

[slate ravine]

hehe :3

[keen widget]

Boba would probably do something with pairs because like clone

DNA but for pairs

[slate ravine]

:o

I endorse this joker

[keen widget]

yippee!!!

omg I just thought of D2 consumable ideas, fricken ammo synths but for hands and discards

popping a heavy synth during the needle when the only joker I get is like delayed gratifcation

[slate ravine]

Heavy ammo synth: +1 hand, takes 2 consumable slots?

[keen widget]

ooo that could be a good idea

would have to make like a reverse negative card logic though

tbf I could probably look at what the one deck with 1 consumable slot does

Nebula Deck", stake = 1, unlocked = false,order = 7, pos = {x=3,y=0}, set = "Back", config = {voucher = 'v_telescope', consumable_slot = -1}, unlock_condition = {type = 'win_deck', deck = 'b_blue'}},

boom!

I think I could just put consumable_slot into the use function right?

[slate ravine]

Maybe?

Ive never done consumables before lol

Ill ask to be sure

Unrelated: I also fixed Char!

[keen widget]

my goat!!!

looking at the logic there's more I'll have to do

I need to store the like pre-card slots number and then make sure to give the player their slots back after

[slate ravine]

Ah, oki

[keen widget]

this logic is so gahhh

I'm like

I do not think i have the mental capacity to work this out rn

but I will lock in tomorrow and work smth out

[slate ravine]

You can just reduce the consumable slot size by 1, it's effectively the same thing

[keen widget]

I'm not sure if it'll restore back to 2 slots though

the only logic in the game that uses that system is a deck that takes away 1 slot at the start with no intention to give that back to you without buying the vouchers so i wanna like be sure

[slate ravine]

It should, but if it doesn't you can have it add a slot back after use or sell

[keen widget]

yeah, I'll take a stab at it tomorrow, I've stared at long walls of text too long today

[slate ravine]

Fair

[keen widget]

I've hit this stage of awake

[slate ravine]

So close yet so far, this crashes if the card to the left or right of the scored blinded card didn't score

[keen widget]

balatro crash screen has been permanently burned into my brain

i want my gravestone to be a balatro crash log

expected pulse after line 100

[keen widget]

I'm struggling to wrap my brain around what function I'd use for the -1 consumable

I've tried
config = { extra = {consumable_slot = -1}},
with

        return {vars = {card.ability.extra.consumable_slot}}
    end,```

but that doesn't work

well I know i need more

[slate ravine]

Sorry I still don't know anything abt consumables :<

[keen widget]

but like im struggling to kinda bridge the gap in my mind

I'd assume because of what im doing it'd be similar to how a joker would function

since it's detecting having an item in a slot and then changing a value just like a joker could do

[slate ravine]

First Arc one :3

[keen widget]

[red axle]

AYYY that's rad

Christ you're on a roll

[slate ravine]

:3

[keen widget]

@red axle do you have any idea how I'd achieve my goal

Basically if you have consumable in consumable slot it takes away 1 of the slots

[slate ravine]

I also moticed that, at least in my download of it, drawn Blinded cards weren't drawn face down, so I fixed that, too

[keen widget]

omg yay

I noticed that but wasnt sure if iwas just being dumb

[red axle]

No idea, I've never tampered with slot counts

[keen widget]

I'm gonna see if looking at Crystal ball can help

Since it's a case of if you have the voucher you always have an extra slot but if you lose voucher you lose that slot so the logic exists

just a case of applying it to the card

but if I get it then Heavy synth!!

[slate ravine]

#💻・modding-dev message

@keen widget

[keen widget]

omg bless you <33

my anxious ass is so bad at asking anything

[slate ravine]

Yw :3

[slate ravine]

Fair, i was so nervous with my first question i waited 2 hours to ask it and closed discord after sending it

[keen widget]

feeling dumb in front of people is just so like

[slate ravine]

I feel dumb all the time :3

[keen widget]

God same

omg I know where the logic exists for consumable being in slot then action

fricken that one voucher whatever it's called!!!

[slate ravine]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/d519ea2c28a92ab0abc08a8a83fc7cd8d998d411/src/vouchers.lua

[keen widget]

Already there dw!

VRE has been a life saver

[slate ravine]

Spark of Instinct done

[red axle]

Christ you're cranking these out really fast

[slate ravine]

I'm getting better so less bugs to fix plus i have NOTHING else to do lmao

[keen widget]

meanwhile I'm trying to ask questions and getting nothin

[red axle]

Yeah that's how it be

[keen widget]

like GO AWAY SLOT GRRRR

I swear I already tried it in the use function

okay so like kinda works?

but like not really

you use it and it yoinks a slot but thats like not what we need lmao

[red axle]

Keep on chipping at it

[keen widget]

what's the method of detecting when you've bought something from the shop

[slate ravine]

set_ability maybe?

[slate ravine]

theres a context for it hold on

[keen widget]

I'm wondering if I can basically have it take the slot when you buy it from the shop, and then when you use it it adds the slot back

[slate ravine]

context.buying_card

[keen widget]

ty!!

[slate ravine]

But what if you get it from a booster?

[keen widget]

just dont have it in boosters

[red axle]

Hey fellas guess what I found

[keen widget]

holy moly

[slate ravine]

Yoooooo

[red axle]

Raw icon rips from the game

[slate ravine]

Link?

[red axle]

No link
This uses a highly specialized tool to access the game packages just to find these

[slate ravine]

ah

[red axle]

Innnnnnnnteresting

[slate ravine]

Theres low-rez duplicates of all icons?

[red axle]

Yep
One for the perks you see when you inspect a weapon
And one for the overview when you hover your cursor over a weapon

[slate ravine]

Interesting

[red axle]

The fragment icons are super low res unfortunately, they're gonna be very blurry when I put them into Aseprite

[slate ravine]

Feedback is going to be fun to figure out...

[keen widget]

idk why this is stumping me so much but im gonna come back to it tomorrow i think

start fresh n stuff

[slate ravine]

fair

[red axle]

Which design for the Fragment Jokers do you like better

Talking about the general layout

[slate ravine]

I like the left more than the right bc i feel there's too much going on in the right one

[red axle]

Gotcha

[slate ravine]

also Beacons done :3

[red axle]

Should I do the zoomed in fragment or the full fragment icon

[slate ravine]

Which fragment is this?

[red axle]

Echo of Expulsion

[slate ravine]

Left looks more like it than the right one imo

[red axle]

Alrighty then

[red axle]

Yeah I'm experimenting because there are two different icons for the fragments in the game
One for the little popup when you hover over the fragment (higher res but cut off), and one for the icon itself (has the full thing but low res)

I'll go with the full one then

[slate ravine]

Idk if i've ever noticed how different the two look

[red axle]

Yeesh, the really detailed once like Echo of Vigilance look really botched when scaled down

[slate ravine]

"Looks really botched"

looks almost identical

That one actually looks like it was ripped from a 16-bit version of Destiny

[red axle]

There we go

[dense wedge]

bangers

[slate ravine]

And I thought I worked fast, wow

They all look rly good!

[red axle]

It's just copy pasting the same thing lmao

[slate ravine]

This might've been my hardest fragment yet...

[red axle]

The Solar fellers

[slate ravine]

These all look amazing, holy-

[red axle]

Arc is done

[slate ravine]

The first set of fragments you finished before me lmao (Im on the last one rn)

Again, these all look amazing

[red axle]

Stasis also done

[slate ravine]

Seriously, it's like you're ripping these from the- oh right, u are

Arc done :3

[red axle]

Strand also done

[slate ravine]

Good luck with Resonance tho

[red axle]

I got just the thing

[slate ravine]

Oh?

[dense wedge]

This mod might actually get finished

[slate ravine]

We still have:

UI

Editions

Consumables

Exotics

Other Blinds

Polishing

Bug Testing

So yea like a month at most

[dense wedge]

Honestly if y’all keep grinding at this rate it shouldn’t be too bad

[slate ravine]

I'll be slowing down the next few days bc of life events but fragments should be done the end of the week? Or the end of next week, we both need to finish coding (or just me if Jit will tell me how he did Echo of Reprisal), then I need to send him my code so that he can assemble them with the graphics and then any remaining bug fixing

[red axle]

RESONANCE FRAGMENTS

[slate ravine]

:O

WOOOOOOOO

Where'd you find them all??

[red axle]

These are actually old crafting materials when crafting was needlessly convoluted at the beginning of The Witch Queen

[slate ravine]

They fit rly well :3

[red axle]

So yeah, the gang

Could do Prismatic fragments but I'm too lazy rn and I haven't brainstormed ideas for them yet

[slate ravine]

Image compression, yummy!

[slate ravine]

They already exist, only ones that didnt is resonance

Ignore me, wrong image Dx

(that was from pre-FS)

[red axle]

Honestly with fragments boosting super charges already
Wonder if I should crank up the number of cards needed to charge supers, from 5 to 7, or to 10

[slate ravine]

Maybe? That'd stop them from being activated in one hand regardless

[red axle]

True

[slate ravine]

If I focus I can finish stasis tonight

But for now ill brb

[red axle]

Christ just jumping through Arc and Stasis in one day huh

[slate ravine]

If I didn't pass out for 3 hours I'd be on strand rn

Oh right I need to go back and fix Vigilance

Eh I have 3-5 hours

[red axle]

I'm trying to cook up something to make the exotic jokers

Through Blender fuckery I can pixelate anything I want

Hmmm

HA

[red axle]

Is it better if it's in 3/4 view or front view

[slate ravine]

Shulk, disciple of The Witless

[slate ravine]

I can't decide tbh

[slate ravine]

It almost works, almost

And there's a thunderstorm, great, looks like I actually won't get the rest of it done

[red axle]

Ah damn

Can you send the ones you have completed

[slate ravine]

No bc I have no Wi-Fi rn, when it comes back on I can but that'll be awhile knowing my internet provider

[red axle]

Gotcha

[slate ravine]

Wifi's back but idk for how long, I also don't know if this thunderstorm is going to kill me via heart attack so here (Ik, ik, it contains some of the old ones that i didn't fix yet)

Wow, Stasis fragments are actually harder to code than Strand ones (Except the last two strand ones, idk how im going to do those)

[red axle]

I can take over some of them if you want

[slate ravine]

Feel free to, just lmk which ones so that i don't also work on them

(Bc it'd jus be redundant)

[red axle]

I honestly can take over everything

Stasis ones are a bit hard to work on because of the freezing and slowing mechanic that I have implemented

[slate ravine]

I learned that with Hedrons lol, it almost works but it doesn't actually freeze them

[red axle]

Eh, my way of "fixing" it is just to give it an entirely different function

Oh yeah, I need edit access to your suggestions doc

[slate ravine]

Oh lol

[slate ravine]

Accepted

[red axle]

Got it

Hang on

Did you just add Hedrons to the suggestion list?

And removed Rending?

[slate ravine]

Rending was just if frozen card scored double chips and mult, i felt Hedrons to be more imaginative (You can change the name back tho)

[red axle]

I'll just change it back to Rending since I already made the sprite for it

[slate ravine]

Alr lol (I forgot that u made the sprites when changing the name, sry)

[red axle]

Look at THESE

[slate ravine]

WOOOOO!!

Those look so nice put together omg

[red axle]

Reworked the ember of wonder

[slate ravine]

Oooo, interesting!

[red axle]

Did you manage to fix Spark of Feedback

Oh wait you did

[slate ravine]

The version I just sent you is most up to date, iirc there's one in void and one in solar that needs fixing but all of arc works

[red axle]

Alrighty then

Hmm, some of your fragments don't use context.joker_main

I thought that's mandatory?

Or did someone tell you that it isn't

[keen widget]

rise and grind gamers it typing time

[slate ravine]

It isn't mandatory

[slate ravine]

Figured it out myself

[red axle]

I see I see

[slate ravine]

The wiki says that it's the normal timing that jokers are triggered, but sometimes you want effects to happen after that or before that

As long as ur code is in a context ur good

[red axle]

I buffed your Spark of Resistance, and this is my implementation of Spark of Amplitude

[slate ravine]

I like your implementations more

[red axle]

Ha HA GOT IT

[slate ravine]

Nice!!

[red axle]

Man look at all of them

[slate ravine]

They jus look so cool :3

[keen widget]

you two are the goats honestly

[red axle]

There will be more

[slate ravine]

A lot more

[keen widget]

ima keep tryna work on the 2 slot consumable logic and if i cant crack it ima just work on logic for a bunch of consumables and worry about the difficult logic later

[red axle]

We haven't even touched on exotic jokers yet

And weapon perk consumables
